It's been a while, I miss you so. The flesh in me has got to go. To think I'd fall on my knees like this shakes me inside. So much I've missed! Lord, send your fire to fall on me. Heat of mercey. Wild and free. And burn up the things not pleasing to you. And help me put in the Word, your truth. I love you, Lord, more than anything else. It's you I long to please. But without your help, Lord, I can't do anything. So I fall here on my knees.

You said "Come and speak to me." I said I would but I never did. And all I really needed was you. You said "Come I am the way." I said "I know. I'll come soon." But I never did. I knew you were the life I needed and the true love that died for me, but I ran away to hide. Hurt and wondering why. When I knew all I needed was you. So I ran to you. And you ran to me. Finally my blinded eyes could see, that you are the only one for me. You say "Come and speak to me." I say "Okay I will." And I do. You say "I am the way." I say "I know and I worship you." You are the life and the reason I live. The reason I smile and the reason I give. I love you, Lord, for all the blessings you've givin me. Tell me dear Lord, what I can do to give back. Thank you for making me free.

You, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor (are against) idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed (or, not worshiped) among the Gentiles because of you." Romans 3:21-24

Basically what this scripture is saying is don't preach against one thing and do the thing you're preaching against. This is the reason why the world does not want to listen to us. Too many christians are living a seperate life and not realizing that people are watching them. If you say one thing, live that way or take off your nametag! Yes, stealing is wrong and you will go to Hell for it. Yes, adultery is wrong, and you will go to Hell for it. Yes, sex before marriage will send you to Hell. Yes, homosexuallity will send you to Hell. And yes, if you lie you are on your way to Hell. There is a real hot Hell out there and we need to stop playing church. It's time that we stand up and say, "There is a Hell. There is a Devil. There is a God and there is a Heaven. Sin is wrong and it will send you to a real Hell." Stop playing wishy-washy with the world and get real! If you deny Christ here, he WILL deny you to his father. Now, what's the highest price?

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--- since he was about a hundred years old---and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why " it was credited to him as righteousness." Romans 4:18-22

   Abraham BELIEVED God even though he knew that in himself he was not capable to do what God said would happen. He knew that if God said it was, then it was. He never second- guessed God, but believed in him fully. That is why he was so blessed. Don't second- guess God when he says what he will do or chances are... you won't recieve his blessings. God is looking for an open, trusting heart. Who's report are you going to believe? Yours or God's?
